Poured a copper with a ring of head and no lacing. Aroma was floral. Taste was floral and somewhat citrus. Overall not bad, but nothing to look for.

500ml bottle pours a pale amber color with a small off-white head and minimal lacing. Aroma is light fruity malt. Taste is light malty sweetness and a modest hoppy bitter finish. This is a decent bitter, but there are much better ones out there. good session and good for black & tans.

A deep amber color with a one finger head. Has a sweet caramel tart aroma.It’s starts off with soft sweet beginning with mild bitterness in the finish. Has a mellowness that’s hard to describe.

Amber color, rather dark for a "pale" ale. Has a bit of a sweet caramel taste to it. A good English beer that is widely available.
